Homeless Man Beaten To Death On Railroad Property

Police in Hagerstown say they're working with CSX Corp. to curb violence against the homeless after a homeless man was beaten to death on railroad property.

Police Chief Mark Holtzman recently told The Herald-Mail that he's concerned about violence against and among the homeless. He says officers are checking more frequently at city parks for people illegally drinking alcohol.

CSX spokesman Bob Sullivan says the company is working closely with police to clean up railroad property where homeless people gather.

Thirty-eight-year-old David Miller, of Hagerstown, is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly killing 47-year-old Robert Dunavant on June 15th.

Miller has denied allegations that he beat and kicked Dunavant, because he had cursed at him while they were drinking with others on CSX property.
